While Notre Dame’s Football Program is currently boasting a 95% graduation rate among players (and we have a feeling it would be 99% if not for some transfers), the rest of the college football world is graduating about 77% of their players (and let me just point out that AP Poll #1 THE Ohio State University is brining down the average – by a lot). That average would seem pathetic to most, but the president of the NCAA, Myles “Never Met a PC Cause I Didn’t Like” Brand is excited.
Hey parents of amazing, young highschool athletes: Where do you really want your kid to attend school?
A Quick Review of Our Major Recruiting Opponents and their grad rates:
- Michigan – 71%
- USC – 55% (Seriously, how the hell do you not graduate at least 3/4 of your players?)
- tOSU – 55%
- Texas – 40% (Texas: Experience college before bagging groceries!)
- Florida – 80%
- Miami (Not In Ohio) – 68%
- FSU – 52%
You can find a complete listing of the grad rates by school and sport here.
Edit: Just realized some may need a visualization of the situation:

I’m surprised that, if Florida’s graduation rate is “x,” x > 0.
Consider the curriculum.
